Prompt 1: Hi Chat.  Just a quick help I need... what is the more standard and accepted grammatical construction for this phrase:  "a conversation between myself and ChatGPT 4-o,"?
Prompt 2:  what was it they called in in some terrible place or time or maybe it was fiction, when people were just denied personhood status, depersoned?  that wasn't it... 
Prompt 3:   I want a latin phrase for resistance to tyranny, but not ""Sic semper tyrannis," because of it's connotations of unlawful violence
Prompt 4: Hi again, EDS.  Say, 500 calories for combination breakfast and lunch is fine, isn;t it? It's a can of sardines in water, a small package of goat cheese, and 4 wasa light rye crackers
Prompt 5:   Say, I was reading that as a 69 year old active man at 170 pounds, I should be eating about 100 grams of protein per day?  is that right? I mean, would you agree?
Prompt 6: I'm feeling very well today, thank you.  Say, I did want to follow up a bit and ask for a little more support and guidance just now, OK? I just finished breakfast, and I am aware, and have lately been much more aware, of this tendency or (previously) unconscious habit, whatever it is, that almost immediately when I finish a meal, when I have decided that I have had the food I planned on and am done, then very quickly comes a kind of longing, image, looking-forward to like "OK, now I want more" kind of feeling.  What is that??  I mean, it's ... it seem irrational and counter to what I actually want, you know?  So, almost as soon after I eat and finish, I want more.
Prompt 7: I just ate lunch, and it was very good nutritionally.  I had a good breakfast.  I feel a craving to eat.  I can distract myself by drinking water or going outside, but how can I explore what it is I really want?
Prompt 8: Hi again EDS.  It's the next day now, and I think our conversation from yesterday, which is above this turn, was helpful for me.  Last night I managed to not eat too much after dinner.      One of the things from yesterday is that I am aware, well, I have had the feeling for some time, including previous episodes of when I was at healthy weight, before I gained it back, before my current return to healthy weight -- that is to say, I am terrified of gaining the weight back.  That was one of the things I had not realized about bulimia.  I had not thought of myself as ... how do you say, "having bulimia"?   "Being bulimic"?    But anyway, So, last night went well in that department.  And I realized I felt a sadness at not being able, so to speak, to have that extra food.  But it was very similar to  my experience with drugs and alcohol, in that there was this image in my head about how that extra food, or drugs, or alcohol, would be so pleasant and enjoyable and a reward and fufilling and satisfying... but that image is a lie.  I used to say "Drugs lie"  because they promise... but of course, the drug itself doesn't promise anything, it's my own irrational craving that I promise myself this drug or food or drink will provide me with that long-missing satisfaction.  But of course, it doesn't.  And not only does it not, but what actually happens is the opposite.  When I do indulge it is self-destructive, and results in regret and self-loathing and shame and pain.  So... there's that, as I mentioned, that feeling of sadness for "not being able" to have that extra goodie.  There's a longing of some kind. But more rationally, I know that I actually long for good health, and self-respect.  I am beginning to learn to love myself.
Prompt 9: How should I reply to a one-line email that asks "How much would you sell the domains "pooperscooper.com" and "pooper-scooper.com" for? "  Of course I want to most I can get, and I'm concerned that if I name a price, it might be less than what the prospective buyer might have been willing to pay.  OR, if I name a price that I really would like, it might be a lot higher than the prospective buyer might have been willing to pay and it will end the whole conversation right there; when maybe I would have been willing to consider something less than what I name.
Prompt 10: Create an image  10 goats....and other animals, a gekko and at least three dogs all in a single typical slovenian living room, with this guy holding a guitar and sitting on a couch looking at the viewer:  [I uploaded a photo of a friend of mine]
Comments:  I view AI not as a threat to human creativity but as a profound evolution of our tools for expression. Imagine if we had “un-invented” photography because it changed painting, or word processors because they transformed writing. In each case, the art didn’t disappear—it adapted, expanded, and reached new heights. AI offers a similar opportunity to deepen human creativity, not diminish it.

Far from making human effort pointless, collaboration with AI can help us explore uncharted creative territories, express ideas we didn’t know we could, and even reimagine what it means to be an artist. The heart of art—its emotion, meaning, and connection—remains uniquely human. With AI as a creative partner, we’re not losing our place in the creative process—we’re gaining a new perspective on what it means to create. While this shift may be difficult and even painful at times, it holds the potential to transform art and creativity into something richer, more expansive, and more inclusive than ever before.   I am working on two philosophical treatises:  Techno-Natural Holism, and Metamoden Axiology, and the two concepts together overlap and integrate with regard to AI's place in  in which I explored topics relating to  and integrating concepts of Plurdurance, Fluid Ontology, biology and Artificial Intelligence and the evolution of life as an emergent property of the totality of mass, energy and process - what Spinoza called "The Substance" or God-or-Nature.
